Directions
Refried Beans Without the Refry,Refried beans made simple in a crock pot…a great and low fat alternative to canned beans. If you like variety, black beans can be substituted for part of the pinto beans. Note: Since reviewers commented on the salt, I’ve reduced the amount. If you think this may still be too much salt for you, add it at the end and to your personal taste. Enjoy!,Have made this several times. I make several varieties of refried beans and this is always in the rotation. I add in 2 T. jalapeno juice from jarred and 2 fresh jalapenos chopped, 1 T. chili powder, more cumin and only 1 1/2 t. salt. Delish!,Meh. I’ve made these a few times because it’s super easy but…I was never really happy with them. First, the amount of salt is outrageous. use 1/4 teaspoon and that’s perfect. You can always add a little more later but to start, go easy!! Second, today I finally realized adding raw onions and garlic is giving the beans this weird, funky almost raw flavour. It’s…not great. From now on I will sautee them in a little olive oil first. Side note – If you prefer using the low setting like I do, reduce the water. 7 cups is plenty and I still have to drain a lot off. I cook them on low for 8 hours.
